The opening has an upper cavity with a handle resting surface configured to receive the handle of the first shaving razor and a lower cavity having a handle resting surface configured to receive a handle of a second shaving razor. The upper cavity is in communication with the top surface. The lower cavity positioned below and in communication with the upper cavity. The handle resting surface of the upper cavity has a first width that is greater than a width of the handle resting surface of the lower cavity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A stand comprising:
 a top surface defining an opening having an upper cavity and a lower cavity, the upper cavity being in communication with the top surface, the upper cavity defined by a handle resting surface, the upper cavity with a first width configured to support a first shaving razor handle, the lower cavity positioned below and in communication with the upper cavity, the lower cavity defined by a handle resting surface, the lower cavity with a second width configured to support a second shaving razor handle, wherein the first width is greater than the second width, wherein the handle resting surface of the upper cavity has a radius that is greater than a radius of the handle resting surface of the lower cavity. 
 
     
     
       2. The stand of  claim 1  wherein the handle resting surface of the lower cavity is partially defined by a pair of opposing side wall portions and the handle resting surface of the upper cavity is partially defined by a pair of side wall portions. 
     
     
       3. The stand of  claim 1  wherein the stand comprises a bottom surface defining a drainage opening in communication with the cavities. 
     
     
       4. The stand of  claim 1  wherein a portion the handle resting surface of the upper cavity is spaced apart from a portion the handle resting surface of the lower cavity by a vertical distance of 5.4 mm to 9.4 mm. 
     
     
       5. The stand of  claim 1  wherein the upper cavity has a height that is greater than a height of the lower cavity. 
     
     
       6. The stand of  claim 1  wherein the stand comprises a bottom surface opposite the top surface and further comprising a ring fixed to the bottom surface. 
     
     
       7. The stand of  claim 6  wherein a lower portion of the handle resting surface of the lower cavity and the bottom surface define a drainage opening. 
     
     
       8. The stand of  claim 7  wherein a lower surface of the handle resting surface of the lower cavity defines a drainage opening. 
     
     
       9. The stand of  claim 8  wherein the ring surrounds the drainage opening. 
     
     
       10. A shaving razor kit comprising:
 a first shaving razor having a handle having a first width; 
 a stand having a top surface defining an opening having an upper cavity defined by a handle resting surface configured to receive the handle of the first shaving razor and a lower cavity defined by a handle resting surface configured to receive a handle of a second shaving razor, the upper cavity being in communication with the top surface, the lower cavity positioned below and in communication with the upper cavity, wherein the upper cavity has a first width that greater than a width of the lower cavity, wherein the handle resting surface of the upper cavity has a radius that is greater than a radius of the handle resting surface of the lower cavity. 
 
     
     
       11. The shaving razor kit of  claim 10  wherein the handle of the first shaving razor is positioned in the upper cavity and a distal end of the handle of the first shaving razor is spaced apart from the resting surface of the lower cavity. 
     
     
       12. The shaving razor kit of  claim 10  wherein the handle of the first shaving razor is positioned in the upper cavity, a distal end of the handle of the first shaving razor is spaced apart from the resting surface of the lower cavity by 3.1 mm to 7.1 mm.
